- Overview
-
Ultrasound and invasive procedures (amniocentesis, chorionic villous sampling) are used to establish the fetus’s well being. My main research interest is to address the aspects of this process. Can we be more precise in counselling when diagnosing specific fetal anomalies? What are the impacts of associated anomalies?
There are unique aspects of the multiple pregnancy that need to be discussed at the time of the prenatal diagnosis counselling. I have reviewed the maternal and perinatal complications associated with triplet pregnancies at our institution, and amniocentesis for twin pregnancies. I have reviewed if we can use the level of amniotic fluid protein measured at the time of the amniocentesis to ensure that the procedure tested the two fetuses.
I am also involved in multicenter clinical trials. We are reviewing the use of antenatal steroids for prevention of morbidity associated with prematurity. A recently compiled study assessed the impact of doing external cephalic version at an earlier time in gestation on the caesarean section rate. The results are being analyzed.

Amniocentesis for twin pregnancy
We are reviewing our data to evaluate if the level of AFP in the fluid can help in proving that the two sacs were sampled.Early External Cephalic Version II
This is a multicenter trial. It will assess whether doing the procedure at an earlier time will ultimately decrease the caesarean section rate for term breech presentations.External Cephalic Version
I have completed a study assessing the use of regional anesthesia at the time of external cephalic version. We hoped that this could increase the success rate of the procedure.Honours & AwardsAward of Excellence for Contribution in Education, Education Services, Children’s & Women’s Heath Centre of British Columbia - May 2003

Pediatric Sepsis Data Challenge invites researchers to help develop a model to save lives
To help prevent more children from dying of sepsis, the Institute for Global Health is inviting researchers to help design an open-source algorithm that predicts in-hospital mortality in low- and middle-income countries.
